The test suite is not stable against newer capstone releases. I file an upstream issue (https://github.com/JonathanSalwan/ROPgadget/issues/190). In the meantime we should restrict the tests.

Is the failure because ROPgadget is actually incompatible with new capstone? If so, we should depend on an older version (< ...).

If it's just tests and a problem in the tests themselves instead with new capstone, rather than the tests showing a real incompatibility, then restricting is fine.

It was indeed an incompatibility. As upstream released an update today, I ammended the PR such that older versions stay with older capstone versions and the new release depends on >=dev-libs/capstone-5.0.1

I did my rework just at the time my original PR was accepted. PR#32554 should fix the problem more like request in Comment #3. Sorry for the noise.
